This is achieved using the representation of singular solutions with prescribed blow-up surface given by Fuchsian reduction. We outline on this example simple methods that may be of wider applicability.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-09-22T13:48:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "93B05", "93C20", "35L71" ], "keywords": [ "nonlinear wave equations", "blow-up singularities", "prescribed compact set bounded away", "example simple methods", "global boundary control" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
